Decorative painter and mural artist Gerhard W. Mounet Lipp A 4 x15 foot mural on the exterior of a cabinet shop representing the process of a lumber mill. Transporting the cut trees over water was always a dangerous process. By arrival at the mill the lumber is cut into planks of various length and sizes and will be ready to ship to carpenters and cabinet makers. |

As
reference for the painting, I work from a scaled
drawing of the mural, with a carpenter pencil the design on to the wall.
by starting with the back ground – sky – forest – water – trees, I base coat each individual object - The mural is taking shape
Adding values in dark and light – deepness, shapes and warmth will be created
.... adding details and dimensions
As a final step – setting more details and reflections of light will bring the picture to live
The “ final ” painting – a wonderful enhancement to the building
